Last week in this column a mention was made of the impend
ing auction of eleven farms, all belonging to one estate, in the
Central City area. The sale embraced more than 1700 acres of
land and the final figure was $245,581. Most of the land went to
farmers who already owned adjoining land indicating their faith
in farming in the future. Highest price paid for any of the
farms was $275 per acre, stated the Central City Republican-Non
pareil.

Three bridges were ripped out across the Loup River near
Burwell a week ago by ice jams which crowded down the river
bed One of the bridges was washed downstream for a half mile,
the Ord Quiz related. Work of restoring the bridges was planned
immediately,

The Albion News, which was recently heavily damaged by fire,
has announced the installation of a new newspaper press. The
News is switching over to the 8-column size such as is used by
The Enterprise and most of the other larger newspapers of the
state. The seven column page, with its short columns is being
rapidly discarded. The News announced to its readers that hence
forth 10 pages of the new 8-column size would contain more space
than 12 pages of its old-style 7-column size.
This week’s issue of The Enterprise, which is 12 pages,
contains more news and advertising space than 15 pages of the
7-column size.

A training course especially designed for those in the whole
sale and retail business is to be sponsored soon by the Chamber
of Commerce at Arapboe. The course will consist of five two-hour
training sessions. Competent instructors would be obtained to
direct and teach the work which would be highly beneficial to all
who are in business and selling work, stated the Public Mirror.
• • •
The Meadow Grove News reported a plan which is being tried
at that town to curb the activity of unauthorized sales people.
The News revealed that the Community Club there is furnishing a
card to all legitimate salesmen. The newspaper urged the people
of the community to always ask to see the card when approached
by a salesman. This, it was pointed out, would indicate whether
or not the proposition would stand close inspection.
• • •
Petitions are out at Scribner to put the proposition of-Liquor
by the Drink on the ballot in the April election, reported the
Scribner Rustler last week.
• • •
The Nebraska Journal-Leader at Ponca issued a warning to
all farmers who are holding farm sales, to be on the lookout for
a “hog rustler.” The man, the paper stated, attends farm sales
and while the crowd is bidding on machinery, the rustler backs
up to the pen bolding the hogs and loads them into his truck.
The idea has worked several times in the north part of the state.
Since hogs and livestock always sell first at a sale, the fact that
a man loads up some hogs while the crowd is buying machinery
is not too unusual and has been getting by unnoticed.
• • •
A new city hall is being considered at Wahoo, the proposition
to be put before the voters on the spring ballot A nine-man ad
visory board, similar to Blair’s planning commission, has pointed
out the need for the improvement.

munities of the county have been invited to take part, according
to the Papillion Times.
• • •
The Bassett hospital, which was ordered closed a short time
ago because of deficiencies in certain things, will remain open,
the Rock County Leader announced last week. The privately own
ed hospital will be remodeled to conform to regulations. Plans
for a publicly owned hospital have been delayed.
• • •
An unusual bit of news happened at Oshkosh last week when
a woman from Casper, Wyoming got out of her 1955 Dodge Sedan
and quietly walked away. After several days authorities investi
gated, learned the name and address of the owner and began a
search. A call to Casper revealed that the lady had left her
place of employment without explanation, much the same as she
had left her car.
A few days later it was learned the woman was in Princeton,
New Jersey. The Garden County News, which told of the unusual
actions, had no information as to why the woman acted so
peculiarly.
• • •

fitting program was held and a dedication dance ended the day's
festivities.
Part of the electric energy being used at West Point is com
ing from the power dams on the Missouri, the West Point Re
publican revealed last week. Current was turned Into the West
Point system March 1st and will be used to supplement the cur
rent generated in the West Point plant much the same as Blair
uses the current generated In the Omaha Public Power plants.
An ordinance which would require all grocery stores to
close one day a week is under fire at Chadron, the Record re
ported last week. The ordinance, designed to cope with the
stores which stay open seven days a week, may be repealed.
While the ordinance regulated the hours of the groceries within
the city, it resulted in the building of other groceries outside the
city limits and these have been operating on a seven-day basis.
Stores within the city limits are asking a repeal of the ordinance
so that they can meet this new competition.
Chadron has also had an ordinance which would require
beer and liquor stores to close at 11 P.M. An effort is now
made to have them stay open until midnight and to permit them
to run until 1:00 A.M. Sunday morning.
• • • •
Cedar County (Hartington) is going after the school redis
tricting proposition in a big way. That county now has 93
school districts but a new school map has been prepared which
will reduce this number to seven districts. The new map is
about ready to be submitted to the state redistricting committee
after which the individual districts will vote on the proposed
changes.
• • • •
Officers of the Valley County Fair (Ord) recently announc
ed plans for a week-end county fair which would run through
Sunday. Churches of the county have now joined in protest
against the idea. The fair board has come back with the sug
gestion that some sort of religious pageant be presented Sunday
evening to meet the approval of the church folks. The Ord Quiz
did not reveal the final decision regarding the matter.
• • • •
Prospects of a big radar installation to be built in the Sar
gent-Taylor Burwell area are dangling in mid-air this week as ef
forts are being made to pin the thing solidly to the earth. It is
believed the whole affair is another confidence scheme.
Several farmers in the area have been approached by a
stranger with regards to leasing ground for the proposed station.
He has also made arrangements for trailer parking lots and the
building of a mess hall for 200 people. The stranger also made
arrangements to buy groceries, trucks and other things which
would be needed.
But, once the arrangements were made, the man never
came back. Folks in that area are wondering what it’s all about
and what reason a man could have for doing such things.
The theatre at Aurora has announced that it will close un
less it gets more patronage. It has been operating there for 43
years but has run at a loss for several years and may close. The
Aurora News-Register urged folks of that community to patron
ize the theatre if they wished to keep it.

Two brothers, driving cars in opposite directions on a coun
try road, met at the crest of a hill last week near Ogallala,
wrecking both cars completely and sending both of the men to
the hospital. They each suffered injuries which were almost
identical. The cars were identical in make, year and model.
The Keith County News termed the accident an unusual coin
cidence.

the need for more water. The Neligh Leader last week told its

procure their noon meals at a nominal cost. On the opening day
15 tried the new facility, helping themselves to barbecued ham
burgers, scalloped potatoes, cole slaw, jello, milk, etc. The
children may eat at the cafeteria or they may bring their own
lunch and use the cafeteria tables and other facilities, stated the
Crete News..
• • • •
The Schuyler Sun is quite concerned about the Platte
River bridge on highway 15 south of town. Heavy trucks which
use the route to by-pass a state weighing scale, are overloading
the bridge and an inspection last week revealed that a number
of supports and sway bars had been broken by the rumbling
trucks. The Sun showed pictures of the broken span in an ef
fort to arouse interest in getting a new, stronger bridge built
• • • •
Firemen at South Sioux City got a pay raise last week, the
Dakota County Star revealed. The men had been receiving a
minimum of $1 for answering a fire call plus $1 per hour for
fire fighting work. This figure was doubled and henceforth
fire fighters will get $2 each for answering a call plus $2 per
hour. The cost of clothing, loss of wages and higher cost of
gasoline going to and from the fires attributed to the increase.

that 113 new irrigation wells have been drilled in Merrick county
this winter.
